This is fascinating to me. I had it beat into my head that matter and energy cannot be destroyed. When a star collapses, that mass needs to go somewhere. If I'm understanding what you're saying, then the curving of spacetime is where the energy is, and the interior of the event horizon is a...

Yes, like I said, I have a lot of gaps in my knowledge. First, I realized that my nomenclature is wrong. I wanted to clarify what I meant when I used each term. Second, I think the diagram you linked is the one I was talking about. And object at rest continues to move along the time axis, when...

When I say black hole, I'm speaking about the event horizon itself. Singularity is the object within the event horizon, the remnants of the star itself. The mass.

Right, the spacetime diagram flips. That part makes sense. And I realized that the math breaks when trying to look past the event horizon. However there needs to be mass for the event horizon to continue to exist I would think. I'm thinking that while there might not be anything like quarks, the...

The event horizon is a feature of spacetime yes. But wouldn't the singularly still be made of something. I know that neutron stars squeeze neutrons into "pasta". My thought process is that within the event horizon itself, the singularity may be a sort of physical object, even if it's just...

To start off, please understand that as much as I love physics and try to keep myself immersed in everything, my education in it doesn't extend past high school courses. I'm aware that I have a lot of holes in my knowledge and understanding, so please be gentil with me. Today I was watching an...
